2015 Summer camp Registration Information

MCRC SCHOOL AGE SUMMER CAMP 2015
It takes a community to
raise a family…
MCRC’S Camps have it all!
The Arts, Science and Nature Exploration, Field Trips, Physical
Activity and more. Come and join us!
Dear Families,
This year, MCRC will be providing two separate licensed Summer Camp programs, one designed for Kindergarten and one to
meet the needs of a School Age group.
The Kindergarten Camp will be located at our 45 Bruce Street location for a group of 20 children ages 3.8 to 5.7 years. This Camp
will have a lower ratio of 1 Educator for every 10 children. This location has an expansive playground for the children to use and
participate in a variety of gross motor games. The children will also have access to a small local Park for larger group games and
nature exploration. Fridays the playground will be transformed for water play.
Our School Age Camp is for children 5.8-12 years of age and will be located at our 410 Bronte Street South location. This Camp
has a ratio of 1 Educator for every 15 children and we have two program rooms. At this location, we offer limited Kindergarten
spaces for families who require their children together. Children will have access to Bronte Meadows Park to participate in large
gross motor activities on a regular basis. The Park includes a baseball diamond, basketball court, soccer field along with a splash
pad which will be used by the children on Fridays.
We look forward to you joining our Educators for a summer full of fun activities!
The Arts
How many ways can a child express themselves? MCRC believes the possibilities are
endless! Children in our camp programs are encouraged to communicate their ideas
through visual arts, dramatic arts, music and movement. Child-directed as well as
teacher-initiated art experiences are facilitated in all of our camps. UGotCanada will
return again this year to teach us all some new dance moves! Children will enjoy a
Physical Activity
At MCRC, children’s health and well-being is important to us. By giving
children opportunities to be physically active in all of our camps, children are able
to build strength and endurance, develop leadership skills and teamwork. Dash
Sports will be visiting our programs throughout the summer to provide
experiences that develops fundamental skills, and teach the basics of baseball,
soccer, etc through skills, drills and games. We will also visit Hilton Falls and
Crawford Lake for hiking trails. Weekly activities will also include trips to
local parks, sports fields, and splash pads.
Science/Nature Exploration
MCRC believes that the environment, especially our natural environment, is a ‘third
teacher.’ By giving children the opportunity to explore nature, as well as man-made
materials and resources, they get to ask questions, make hypotheses, test theories, and
build relationships in the process. Campers will be able to explore the wonder of science
throughout all 9 weeks of camps with a trip to The Museum in Kitchener, and returning
visits from Mad Science. Wolfmaan Outdoor educator and adventurer will join our
campers this year throughout the summer to explore nature in the most unlikely spaces.
Oakville Milton Humane Society will bring it all home with their “Critter Care”
presentation to encourage safety around animals and responsible pet ownership.
Field Trips/Special Guests
Oh the places they’ll go! All of MCRC’s camps offer children the opportunity to explore
new places as well as engage with visiting guests. This summer, trips will include
Country Heritage Park, Champs Bowling, and The Museum Kitchener. Visiting
guests will include Reptilia, Oakville Milton Humane Society, Wolfmaan Outdoor
Educator and Dash Sports.
